Dublin Bet's Texas Hold´em Poker Review 

Texas Hold´em Poker is currently the most popular variation of Poker in the Americas, Europe and in Internet since the year 2000. This is mainly due to the exposure Texas Hold’em has had on T.V. and online. Among the entire live dealer games Dublin Bet offers live dealer Texas Hold´em Poker is of course included. Personally I believe playing live dealer poker is more fun than actually going to a land casino. This is simply because I do not have to deal with crowds of people and lingering cigarette smoke. I can listen to the type of music I feel like hearing, or I can have complete silence, depending on my mood. Besides that, I can wear what is most comfortable for me at that moment. When feeling the need to play Texas Hold’em these aspects make the game even more attractive.

Dublin Bet Casino maintains its originality by presenting us with a high quality video stream of live Texas Hold´em Poker directly from the Fitzwilliam Card Club and Casino ® in Dublin, Ireland. You can be certain that the live Poker game is authentic due to the fact that the game is based out of Fitzwilliam’s. Not only is the game authentic, the Poker table layout on your computer screen is a mirror image of a land casino Poker table. Playing live dealer Poker with Dublin Bet is much easier than physically being at a land casino because the casino software provides us with quick reminders and playing guides that appear on the Poker card table. Dublin Bet takes care of their players by providing us with intimate gaming aspects and personalized comfort.
 Texas Hold´em Poker is different from other Poker variations because the game makes use of five community cards. The community cards are five shared, face up cards which are used in any combination with the two Hole or Private cards of the player in order to make the best five card hand possible. A player bets four times in live dealer Texas Hold´em. Consequently, a player has more of a chance to apply game strategy. This variation of Poker is definitly more of a tactics game than a game of chance, such as Roulette.

When playing real live Texas Hold´em at Dublin Bet Casino you will notice its ease of access. Once you have signed up, logged in and accessed the Game Lobby you will then notice that the casino offers Live Texas Hold´em from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM (GMT). As long as you have an internet connection and spare time, the minimum bet is €1. The established amount for the minimum bet makes it easy for us to say, “I feel like playing.” You don’t need a lot of money to join in on the fun. The established maximum bet is €200. Dublin Bet has made sure their live Poker game is accessible for any player level.

When playing Texas Hold’em with Dublin Bet we only play against the live dealer’s hand. Before the first card is dealt, you need to make an “Ante” bet. You may also make a Bonus Bet. A Bonus Bet is won when the first two cards dealt are the same value. To me the payouts for the Bonus Bets are very surprising. These bets are paid immediately after the first two Hold cards have been dealt. Below is a list of the Bonus Payouts which also appear as a quick reminder on the Poker table layout….one less thing to worry about memorizing:

Once the two Hole cards (personal cards) are dealt you may then choose a second Bet or Fold. If you choose to Fold, your Ante Bet is lost. If you choose to bet again, you must check the “Bet” button that appears on the Poker table. This second “Flop” Bet is double the Ante Bet. Below is an image of the Bet and Fold button I am referring to:

As you can see in the image I bet €25 for my Ante Bet. Then, Dublin Bet gives the choice to Bet or Fold.  It is VERY important to remember that you only have 10 (ten) seconds to decide if you will Bet or Fold. If you do not decide before the 10 seconds are up, the casino will consider it a Fold and you will loose your initial bet. Once you have made up your mind (if you choose to bet a third time) then the three Flop cards will be dealt and turned over. You can also see in the image above the three outlined illustrations where the Flop cards will be dealt. Once Flopped the casino needs to know if you will continue with the third Bet or if you will Check on the Turn card. The Turn is the fourth card left of the Flop cards. If you choose to Bet you will only need to bet the amount of your initial Ante Bet. Again, you will only have ten seconds to make your decision. If you do not Bet in time then the game will consider it a Check. The fourth card is then revealed. Finally, you will need to Bet on the fifth card called the River. This is the card left of the Turn card. The River Bet also costs the same as the Ante Bet. Again, once the ten seconds are up, the dealer’s cards are revealed. The winning hand will be paid 1 to 1. If your Ante Bet was €25, then you will win €125 because after the four Bets the sum you actually put in the pot is €125. If the dealer and your hands are equal value, then the next highest card will decide the winner.

When you actually sit down and play Live Texas Hold’em Poker at Dublin Bet, you will find the innovative video feed via webcam streaming. Check out the Poker image shown here.
As you can see the Poker table representation is practically the same as you would find in a land casino. As I mentioned previously the casino gives you a reminder guide for the Bonus Payouts. There is also a reminder guide for the minimum and maximum established bets on the left side of the Poker video screen. On the superior part of the live dealer Poker table you can also see the total Credits your gaming account possesses. In the image below you can see my gaming account had €880.50. An amount appears below the Last Win (to the right of the Credits) if you have won the previous hand. To the right of the Last Win is the word Bet which is the amount you will currently Bet will appear here. You can also see that after each game the video angle changes and goes from a distant view of the live dealer to a close up of the Poker cards. I appreciate this view because you can check for yourself what the dealt winning cards.
This is just another way Dublin Bet Casino confirms the game is genuine. Another way is by making the dealer pass each card that he or she deals over a bar code scanner. Each Poker card has a bar code on its face. This is how card image is replicated on your computer screen. If you ever have any kind of doubt or comment, Dublin Bet Casino offers us the option to actually send the live croupier a message. Yes, you can chat in real time with the dealer. In the last image I referred to you can see on the inferior part of the video screen the message “Send a message to the dealer.” This is a very personalized option for us players.

Playing live Texas Hold´em Poker at Dublin Bet is for real! It’s all you can expect in a land casino, but from the comfort of your own home. It is simply a question of having an internet connections, becoming a member, logging in and depositing money into your gaming account. If you prefer not to deposit any money immediately, then you can simply play for fun with Dublin Bet Casino. I always recommend when joining an online casino is to read up on the terms and conditions and play for with fun tokens (if available) in order to make sure you understand all of the house rules and regulations. When you are ready, it is very simple to switch from playing for fun into playing for real. It is just a matter of choosing which payment method is best for you.

Dublin Bet also has great bonuses too which are available at all times. Click here to read up on the Everyday Bonuses. Keep in mind though that the casino contacts their players via e-mail (once you are a registered player) when they have seasonal promotions for playing live Poker. I also recommend quickly reading over the Guide to Gaming (in HELP section of their web site). It is very informative. I always have a great time playing live Texas Hold´em Poker at Dublin Bet Casino or what ever other live casino game I am the need to enjoy. Even if you don’t win money at every sitting, you are always assured to have a fun time with Dublin Bet. How could you not when they are at the top of their level….live casino games!
